YES!! I appreciate your vulnerability and sharing from right where you are. It is very relatable and comforting.

Also, I feel like I have been invited to help choose the next part of the story, like a “Choose your own adventure” book. 😂❤️

There is so much goodness here in your letter. I will be taking my time to read and listen to all the things.

Thank you, Stephanie. I welcome your voice in my writing life. 🥰

First and foremost, a huge congratulations on the arrival of Soren! I also had a >9 pound nine pound boy who came over a week early. 😅 Whew!! And yes, I’d love more of the personal in addition to the writing. They go hand-in-hand, IMO.

Congratulations! To all your family. Thank you for sharing all that you have here--it is truly good.

I really needed to hear the self-promo/platform pieces, as this has been thrust upon me by se in the publishing business. (Recently a Big Rejection, because my numbers are just not what a Big Publisher wants; it's been tough to take in. It's pushed me into a place of working to build real acceptance.)

A baby and new life is such a wonderful balance to so much else--enjoy every minute and day! There is nothing like the feeling of a little one asleep and content and gathered close! God bless.
